Nicky Lee Featherstone (born 22 September 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as midfielder for National League side Hartlepool United.
He is also capable of playing as a winger and has previously played for Hull City, Grimsby Town, Hereford United, Walsall, Scunthorpe United and Harrogate Town.
Born in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, Featherstone is a striker who came through the Hull City's youth structure. He joined the Centre of Excellence at the age of eight and, along with Will Atkinson, James Bennett and Matty Plummer, penned a two-and-a-half-year professional deal with the club in December 2006. After starring for the youth and reserve teams, he made his first team debut against Burnley on 30 December 2006, coming on as a late substitute. He was one of the nominees for the 'Wickes Young Apprentice Trophy' in 2007.
In September 2007 he signed a new contract to keep him at the club until June 2010, after a clause in his old contract stated that he would be offered a new one after making five first team appearances.
During the 2007–08 season, Featherstone featured as a second-half substitute for Hull City against Chelsea in the third round of the League Cup. He played in the third round tie in the 2009–10 League Cup against Southend United.
